“I think any smart person would know that it is always a possibility that you could always get that sad and deep,” she said.

“I worried that was a possibility, but I know I would never,” she insists.

One of her worries, she reveals, is that her husband Eddie Cibrian, will cheat. Both were married to other people (Brandi Glanville and Dean Sheremet) when they embarked on their affair, and Rimes says, “Speaking for him, I would actually say that’s creeped into his mind,” she reveals. “I think we’ve been very honest and open with that to each other and our conversations about it have only made me understand that he cares, as much as I do, about being faithful to each other.”

Indeed, the couple recently face accusations that Cibrian attempted to set up a date with waitress Scheana Marie while dating Rimes.

But even though she bares her soul in the new interview, and daily on Twitter, Rimes insists she’s not looking for sympathy. “…It’s as simple and as complicated as I need to go learn how to deal with myself and with the world because everyone is always looking in and I needed to figure out how to deal with it.”
